Notes About The Poem

Inspired by a day in July 1990

A Town Like Venice

A place in which to sigh
impressions to recollect
       in lasting retrospect
Colours cry wet-on-wet
images of a sunset.

A valparetto on the sea..
...Vivaldi strings that sing
of Winter & Spring
Summer and Fall on pause..
so many memories to recall
